[AQ] When you leave them alone [Paii/Calli]

[Minji]

"I'm totally fine, matey!" She was bouncing a little, okay - it would be way better just to continue on with their adventure. It wasn't like she was gravely injured. Although - it was very good that Calli wasn't injured. The pirate was pretty hardy, and rarely got injured. But she didn't know all that much about how Calli handled injuries. Everything was totally fine, so they could just continue on with their fruit gathering mission. "So, lets go!" 

"I mean, we could. But theres bad things on the ground." Things that the pirate didn't really care to mention. She turned to look back up at the direction that Calli pointed in. "Come on. Lets go get them then!" She wasn't sure they could just slice them down - not if they didn't want them to just fall to the ground as well. It wouldn't really, be any good if that happened in the end. It would just loose all of the berries for them that were around. 
"We can cut the twigs. So long as one of us holds them." She nodded. "We don't want them falling with the rest." She let out a huff. She wasn't really annoyed per say, but she certainly wasn't exactly in the best mood anymore.

Paii flew up towards them, shaking the branch a tiny bit, just to make sure that nothing would fall off of it. "Okay - some just, cut it then." She wasn't actually sure that Callis 'sword' would actually work on the twig. It was a jabbing weapon after all and not something that would be used as a slicing weapon.
"Lets see if it'll work for us."

[Yasuko Kobayashi]

"Oh, um--" the Guardian Character blinked as the other answered her questions - even her silent one when she had stared down at the ground. But if Paii said so, then it must be true! "Okay!" Calli simply said, before following after the pirate into the upper parts of the bush.

She could only wait with bated breath to see if the other Guardian Character would want to cut the berries down with their own weapons. She watched as the pirate flew over to the branches, her hand out to shake the berries. For a split second, she wondered if they would drop - and for a moment, she could feel disappointment because that wouldn't be any fun at all! - but the berries had stayed, stuck as they were, to the bush instead. Immediately she turned her head back towards Paii, her eyes shining, sparkling, waiting for the other.

The moment the pirate agreed, Calli had threw her hands up into the air in excitement. "Yes!" she said, pumping a fist into the air, before quickly switching her attention back to Paii. Her hand grasped at her 'weapon', and she drew it from her makeshift belt, brandishing it into the air like she was extremely proud of it. "Hiiiyahhhhhhh!" she cried as she brought her weapon down as hard as she could, to cut against the twigs that held the berries to the bush--

--and it clinked against it, the wooden twig completely unharmed.

She blinked.

And looked at Paii with a woeful expression. "Paaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii."

[Minji]

Paii couldn't stop the loud cackle that left her at the failure of the other fairy - and had to move her hands away from the branch as she bent over. Calli had obviously been so excited about the prospect of slicing down the berries. She couldn't believe that she'd hoped that hard. She was sure that the other Guardian Character had been able to figure out the needle was way more of a stabbing weapon than a slicing one. 

She bent over a little - gasping slightly. She felt only a tiny bit bad. It was funny that Calli had been so excited about the fact. She'd tried so hard, obviously, but her failure was just -

"Calli - Calli." She sucked in a breath and settled herself down. Her laughter calmed down a good amount before she spoke again. She turned her head slightly to look back at the brown haired guardian character. She looked so upset - it almost had her laughing again, but she managed to snuff the need out. 

"You stab with that one. You can't cut." She knew she said it in a way that made Calli out to be the silly one - but Paii had been the one to suggest it in the beginning. Paii could have cut it down with no problem with her actual sword. "I'll let you use my sword for a second okay?" As much as she enjoyed making fun of people she had to live with Calli and she considered her a ship mate - so she drew her own sword - offering it to the other Guardian Character. 

[Yasuko Kobayashi]

Calli blinked, baffled she was, by the pirate's sudden torrent of laughter. Was it really that funny? A part of her felt like she should be offended, but all she did was give a pout. She was so excited to cut it! But to have her hopes dashed in an instant was so sad! And Paii found it all funny! ...Okay fine, she could see why the pirate would find it funny, but still! "Paaaaaiiiiiiiii!" she whined again, the pout still evident on her face, almost as if trying to say 'Stop laughing and help me!'.

"Oh," was her reply at first, blinking once more - before realisation flitted across her face and she went "Oooooohhhhh." She moved her hand, so that her makeshift weapon was pointing up towards the sky. Scanning it from top to bottom. "Oh, I get what you mean," she said, as her eyes scrutinised the weapon from it's pointed end to the blunted end. Yeah it didn't seem like something that could be used to cut something. She swung it down, in a dejected manner. What now then? Did that mean she couldn't cut it at all?! And she would never have the experience of cutting the berries down?!

But she stopped at the mention of the other's sword.

And she perked up with wide sparkling eyes. "Really? Really?! I get to use your sword?!" All of her sadness seemed to vaporise in that instant - and she couldn't help a squeal as the other drew her own sword out. "Oh my gosh I get to use your sword!" she cried once again, before she slipped her own weapon back onto her belt and gingerly took Paii's own. "Oh wow, look at that! It's a real pirate sword!" she said, her eyes shining as she took in every single detail on the sword. How long it was, how shiny it was, how the hilt looked like -- ahhh it was like a dream!

"Okay, one more time then!" she said, and as she waited for the other to hold the berries again, she raised the sword up into the air and with a definitely dramatic flair, she brought it down in a swift movement. "Hiiiyahhhhhh!" she cried as she did so.

And the berries separated from the twig cleanly.

[Minji]

"Be careful with it -" She knew only a little while before about not using swords stupidly - and this was definitely something they didn't need to do but she also was happy to see Calli cheer up a little even just holding her most prized possession. The needle obviously wasn't the best weapon but Paii was also fairly sure that Calli didn't really need one in most situations, so it would do. Her hands gripped the twig the berries were hanging onto.

The pirate almost let out another snort at the awe that Calli had for her sword and had to bite her lip to stop herself from laughing at the flourish the other had when she finally used it, but knew it was a better idea to keep quiet while the other Guardian Character was swinging a sharp object around. Any noise could have sent her off-course.

She had to move quickly to actually grab the berries before they plummeted to the ground after the ones they'd knocked down before. She stuck both fists in the air and let out a whoop. They'd done it - or at least, Calli had with a little help from Paii. "Well done! And you didn't cut off my fingers, which is great!" She wasn't joking. For second she had been a tiny bit worried about the other missing completely and just, chopping off a hand or something, so she was very happy to be holding the berries. 

Paii held out a hand to take her sword back - it had only been a very short time, but she was already missing the wonderful piece of metal, even though it was only going to end up attached to her side again. Once it was back there they could actually get around to eating their loot. She was also getting kind of thirsty - so the berries would be good enough to tide that over until they could actually get some real liquids. 

"And now we can eat!" She hesitated for a moment. "Or we could stash them for a while - which ever would be better..." She wasn't sure if the other Guardian Character would want to eat just yet. 

[Yasuko Kobayashi]

As she sliced through the twig, her eyes grew big and wide - and she turned back towards the pirate, her blue orbs sparkling with excitement. That was soo sooooooooo soooooooooooooooooo cool! The way it just cut through the tiny branch so easily! And it was just so satisfying to watch the berries fall off like that! Even though Paii had to hurriedly catch them before they fall to the ground and be totally unappetising. "Oh my gosh!" she exclaimed as she drew the sword upwards, marvelling at it from it's sharp edge to it's hilt. "That was awesome!"

Calli blinked at the other's words, tilting her head with a slightly confused expression. Huh? Cut off her fingers? Why would she do that? But she was distracted instead, by the plump juicy berries in the other's arms. "Oh wow, look at that!" she said, as if she had only just noticed them. Would they taste good she wondered? They must be, looking at how fat they are! She handed the sword back towards its owner. "That was so fun!" she said, clasping her hands together. "Paii, please, can I do it again sometime soon? I would love to do it again! Pretty pleaseeeee?"

"We can eat!" Calli cried, a hand pumped into the air in excitement. Now that she thought about it, she was a little hungry. Was it lunchtime already? Or maybe it was because she was carrying all of that heavy jewelry from the room? Ah who cares, the berries looked good! "Come on Paii, let's eat!" she said, taking a berry from her hands. Opening her mouth wide, she chomped off a huge chunk of the fruit.

[Minji]

Paii was quite impressed by Calli actually, the cut had been clean and she'd seemed to not have all that much trouble with the sword considering it was her first time actually using one. Obviously she'd know from the beginning herself to use one, so she'd never had any kind of issues with it herself. But Calli was totally new to even holding the sharp metal object. "You did really well!" She was probably acting it up too much, but Calli had seemed so happy - she couldn't stop getting excited about it herself.

The pirate took her sword from the other fairy, tucking it away into its usual place. It felt way better there, and she let out a breath she hadn't realized that she'd even been holding. She felt way more comfortable with it there at her side. The pirate was probably overreacting, and she certainly was too attached to the sword. "At some point! I'll let you use it again..." It would probably a little while before she would again though - she'd only really done it this time to make Calli feel better about herself. "One day yaaar'll get another go." 

"Yes! Lets eat!" The moment that Calli had taken her own berry she'd started chomping down on her own. She looked back over at Calli as she startedto eat her own. As it had been the last time, the berry was super juicy and nice. She was glad for it, it quenched her thirst a good amount although she was very sure just a few berries wouldn't actually be very filling. 

[Yasuko Kobayashi]

"Ah you think so?" the Guardian Character said, slightly embarrassed, rubbing the back of her head in a sheepish manner. She didn't know if she really did great or not, but the fact that Paii was praising her made her feel a little happy. The pirate herself said she did well, after all! As the other took her sword, she waited for the other fairy's answer - and soon threw her hands into the air in excitement. "Yay!" she cried. Paii said she could have another go! She couldn't wait!

Calli's eyes grew wide and they sparkled as she turned towards Paii, juice splattered all over mouth. It was delicious! "It's so sweet!" she said, her eyes shining, sitting down on a nearby branch as she ate. "And so juicy too!" She beamed back at the pirate, a wide smile on her face. "Thanks for showing it to me!" she said, as she bit down on the berry again. Ahhh it tasted so good! And refreshing! She soon finished it off, licking her fingers before grabbing yet another berry. "Are we going to do anything else after this?" she asked, tilting her head to the side in query.

[Minji]

Paii let out a loud hum - what else could they do? She knew she'd mentioned a few things before, but now she was actually hungry and figured they should probably go get some actual real food instead of just eating a few berries each. Because as nice as they were, Paii much preferred food on the savory side of things. Maybe she could even trick Calli into helping her steal more stuff without her realizing just what they were doing. 
The pirate didn't really feel all that bad for the things she done so far - certainly she liked the other Guardian Character, but she also felt that if somebody so easily fell for whatever she said, they deserved to be tricked a little at least. 

She shook her hands slightly as she shoved her last berry into her mouth - just getting off any of the juice that lingered there and turned her attention fully to Calli once more. "Shall we go to school?" It wasn't something she'd have normally suggested but she was still pretty bored and she wanted to do something fun - so sneaking around the school and maybe taking something from the cafeteria seemed like a great idea. 

She floated up and a little bit away from the bush - clearly waiting for Calli to respond. "Cause now I'm really hungry -" The whole berry idea had seemed like a wonderful thing at the time, but now she was starting to regret the entire thing a little.

[Yasuko Kobayashi]

"School?" Calli repeated, blinking at first - before a wide smile broke across her face. "Yes! Yes we can!" she said excitedly, pumping a fist into the air as if it was a form of agreement. School! School was where all kinds of things happened! All the students, and the clubs, and the classes and the teachers and and and-- "That sounds way fun!" she said. Watching Paii shove her last berry into her mouth, Calli stared at her, before glancing down at her own berry - and popping the whole fruit straight in too. Okay, maybe that wasn't such a good idea; it was a big berry after all - but, after struggling to chew it up, she took a great big gulp before grinning back at the pirate.

Jumping up onto her feet, she leaped up from the branch to follow after Paii. "Hungry?" the Guardian Character repeated - before a growl cut through the air, and she clutched her own stomach out of embarrassment. Looks like the berries weren't enough for her either. "Oh gosh, um ignore that," she said, laughing sheepishly, flying just a little ways behind the pirate. It only then clicked into her head what the pirate was suggesting to do. "Oh oh! Are we getting food from the school?" she said excitedly. That was way fun! There were lots of dishes in school - like bread and rice bowls and noodles and all kinds of other yummy snacks! Yasuko only ever took bread, so Calli never had the chance to taste one of the fuller meals. "Oh oh! Which food are we gonna take? Like are gonna take the rice bowls? Or maybe the noodles? Gosh, I would like to try the katsudons, they looked so yummy, especially with the egg dripping all over the rice!" She gave a dreamy sigh, reminiscing the image of said chicken rice bowl.

Suddenly, she turned back towards the pirate, her eyes sparkling with excitement. She just had a brilliant idea! "Hey, maybe we could also find Yasuko and Minji!" she said, grinning. She would love to see the second-year's class! "Wouldn't it be way fun, Paii?"

[Minji]

The pirate let out a hum, glad that they'd actually decided on something to do. While Paii didn't really like going to the school, it being a very boring place to her - it was something to do and it would make a pretty decent adventure. "Arrrrg, yeah, super fun." That was very much a lie, Paii didn't really think it would be all that fun, she really didn't enjoy the whole atmosphere of the school to be very appealing. The whole thing about having to keep quiet and not annoy other people wasn't something she was very good at for extensive amounts of time. She turned a little just in time to watch Calli shove down the rest of her berry and let out a small snort - slightly amused by the sight of it.

Paii let out another cackle as she heard Calli. "Arrrr - I can't do that matey. I mean, that was very loud." It was fair enough, Paii was obviously also hungry - although her stomach was certainly being far more quiet than Callis was. It was very funny to watch Calli act so nervous about something so normal. "But yes! Lets get us some food!" Usually Paii just ate half of what Minji bought - she was sure that the girl had started to actually buy extra just so that she could eat more food herself. The pirate let out a dreamy sigh as she thought about the fish and meat that might be around. "Haaaaa - meat." She was starting to look forward to it now. She turned her head a little to watch Calli for another moment as she spoke - nodding a little at her mention of katsudon. She was getting, way, way more hungry. "Lets get a move on then! Lets go!" She took a second to wait for Calli to join her before she shot off.

"Haa - yeah. So much fun." Another total lie. Why would actually be going to school be any fun at all? She thought that maybe she'd already told Calli about the whole thing where Minji told her to just not going into her classroom anymore? She didn't bother mentioning it again, seeing just how excited Calli was getting over it. She let out a huff and turned her head. It would be fine, she supposed. Something would probably come up before they actually had to go into the classrooms.

[Yasuko Kobayashi]

Calli only blinked at the pirate, tilting her head to the side in a confused manner. Was it her, or did Paii not sound particularly enthusiastic...? But but it was school! Wait, did the pirate mention something about not liking to sit down or something in school...? But there were way more interesting things there to do than just classes! Uhhh should she address it? - Or maybe not, she wasn't sure if she should. Instead, she simply flitted her attention back onto food. "Yes!" she said, pumping a first into the air in excitement. But she nearly missed the other as the pirate shot off - and, after a few seconds of panic, flew off after the pirate too. "Wait for me Paii, wait for meeeeeeee!"

But finally she caught up - huffing a little as she did so. Goodness gracious Paii was so fast. "What are we gonna eat Paii?" she asked, as she did her best to keep up with the pirate. The other Guardian Character seemed to like the idea of meat, so maybe that was what they were going to munch on? "Do you like rice or noodles? Oh oh, what's your favourite dish actually? Yasuko only ever got bread, so I never tried any of the other bigger meals...." She frowned a little before she looked back at Paii in an excited manner. "Oh oh! What does Minji usually eat? Like, does she get bread, or snacks, or other kinds of meals?! I mean, the cafeteria's so big and had lots of stuff, so there's so much to choose from!" Ahh she wanted to get there soon!

[Minji]

Paii let out a snicker as she hear Calli calling for her to slow down. If there was one thing she and Minji really shared it was their speed. Although - she was starting to get worn out, while she certainly messed around a lot during the day - she didn't normally have to fly this far and wide. It was usually just playing tricks on people in the dorms and setting nasty traps for Minji to find. So she was slowly getting more and more tired - so she let herself slow down a little. Although if Calli asked the only reason she'd done it was so that the other Guardian Character could catch up to her. 

Paii - now even more hungry than she had been moments ago - just before Calli had opened her mouth to speak about food again, let out a small huff. "I want rice and meat! But...you can have whatever you want." They'd be stealing it anyway - so did it really matter what they had in the end. Paii - in the end had some very plain tastes when it came down to food. While Minji liked spicy food, Paii would much rather just have eaten salted meat and plain rice. It was far better than what her human usually decided to eat. It wasn't because she couldn't handle spice at all. No way.    

"Minji eats too much spicy food." She pouted a little - because when the girl did that there was much less that Paii could nab off of her plates. Which was a huge pain. "She normally eats the set meals though or just whatever she feels like when she gets there." The pirate nodded a little.

[Yasuko Kobayashi]

Oh that was good the other was slowing down a little! Calli quickly caught up to her, beaming back at the pirate. The brunette fairy didn't think the pirate was getting tired at all; rather she thought that it was because Paii was being a nice person! Slowing down because Calli was having trouble, what a nice Guardian Character! Then again, sometimes she was a little mean...but Calli was sure it was just part of the charm of her pirate persona! She can be nice when she wanted to!

"Rice and meat!" Calli repeated, before sighing dreamily. Gosh, talking about food was making her hungrier than ever. She didn't know what she wanted yet; the times when she stole a glance at all of the food in the cafeteria, she was overwhelmed by the numerous choices there were! There was no way she could pick! Should she get bread? Ah maybe not; Yasuko got bread all the time, and Calli wanted to try something else for a change!

But her eyes shone when the pirate answered - and she beamed back at the other Guardian Character. "Does she?" the brunette fairy said, before giggling madly. Somehow it was funny to see Paii pouting like that! "I have never tasted any spicy food before - Yasuko only likes to get bread, so I never got to eat others." This time, she too gave a pout; but she recovered quickly enough as they neared the school. "There it is!" she cried, pointing it out, despite the fact that the pirate could definitely see it. Ahhh she could hear the sounds of students rushing around, the clink of plates and utensils, and - oh gosh, the smell of food was so strong. "Oh gosh Paii! Let's go, let's go!" She was just so hungry!

[Minji]

"RICE AND MEAT!" Paii was really looking forward to it at that point. Sure it was very plain, but it was way better that the awful food that Minji liked to eat. It always burnt the Pirates mouth like nothing else. It just wasn't fun and Paii really didn't understand how Minji shoveled it down like it was nothing. It was just, so, so, strange and it made her very concerned about the girl. It just wasn't right. While the Pirate knew if she just asked Minji she'd have bought something else - she also just kind of expected the girl to just realize that that wasn't something the pirate liked.

"It's not that good. It burns in all the bad ways." As if there was any good kind of burning - well...she shook that thought away. Fires, pirates and ships weren't really all that good of a mixture. "Anyway - I think you can buy spicy bread too..." Or at least she though so - Minji had definately eaten bread that looked like it would have been spicy. "But arrrr man - bread all the time? That sounds arrgggressively boring." And it really did - while Paii certainly didn't like spice she didn't think she could eat bread every single day. 

Paii nodded her head at Callis words - she could in fact see the building and rolled her eyes a little. She let out a low hum - annoyed that there was so much noise. Obviously that indicated that there were a load of kids, so it would mean they'd have to be at least a little careful going through. Just in case there was anybody who could actually see them. 
As they reached the school and waited for a moment to gather herself - and looked over to Calli. "You ready?" It was busy - and it sounded even louder now they were at the building itself.
